Silver Rises Over 120% YTD 
China’s central bank has approved foreign exchange purchases for commercial banks to fund increased gold import quotas, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The increased gold imports could help meet growing demand for the precious metal while simultaneously slowing the yuan’s appreciation, which has been rising as investors move money out of U.S. assets. Gold recently reached an all-time high of $3,500 per ounce amid trade tensions, with China’s central bank also increasing its own gold reserves for the sixth consecutive month.
